EU threatens to restrict coronavirus vaccine exports

Tensions run high between the EU and drug company, Astrazeneca as the EU threatens to restrict vaccine exports.

The head of the European Commission has threatened to restrict coronavirus vaccine exports if third countries do not also allow exports in a reciprocal and proportionate way. We hear from French MEP, Veronique Trillet Lenoir. Plus, the abuse of people online, or trolling, is on the rise. The 大象传媒's Marie Keyworth reports on whether cyberspace should be a free speech free-for-all, or regulated to screen out the most offensive individuals. And there's good news for theme park fans , particularly if you live in California because Disneyland is reopening... but you're not allowed to scream if you're on a rollercoaster. To get a sense of the excitement, we hear from theme park journalist, Megan Dubosi. Plus, we're joined throughout the programme by Jeanette Rodriguez from Bloomberg who's in Mumbai and analyst Ralph Silva, based in Toronto. Photo of vaccine via Getty Images
